Madesi River Access at Pit 5 Dam serves as a whitewater put-in location for paddlers accessing the Pit 5 area in Shasta County. This is a specialized access point designed for whitewater kayakers and canoeists looking to run river sections in the region. The dam put-in configuration indicates this is likely a controlled access point where water releases and flow conditions can affect paddling opportunities. Given its classification as a whitewater put-in, this site is best suited for paddlers with intermediate to advanced skills who are familiar with moving water and current management.
